DAY 2 - STUDENT GUIDE

Defining Nativism using a Primary Source

You will listen to a radio interview from October, 2010. The author carries a very strong opinion on how 'others' - that is outsiders from a group- such as immigrants should be treated. You will preview, listen to and mark up a transcript of the interview. You will use the interview to define the term Nativism. You will then write a letter, in the form of an email, to the author of the primary source evaluating his ideas.
